P2725 TM-B

At around noon on September 15, 1940, a

mass raid of Luftwae bombers had been

intercepted over the skies of London.

On that day, RAF Flight Lieutenant Ray Holmes spied

a solitary Dornier aircraft ying towards Buckingham

Palace. With his Hawker Hurricane ghter, P2725,

out of ammunition, Holmes took decisive action and

rammed the bomber out of the sky. He managed

to escape from the falling wreckage and open his

parachute; meanwhile, the German aircraft crashed

on the forecourt of Victoria railway station. It marked

a pivotal moment in the war – Buckingham Palace,

a symbol of Britain, had been successfully defended.

Some 64 years later, our special metal sourcing

partners, TMB Art Metal (named after the squadron

code of this most famous of Battle of Britain

Hurricanes), excavated the remains of P2725 from

its crash site under Buckingham Palace Road.

A painstaking recovery of its wreckage allowed us to

create the C9 P2725 TM-B Limited Edition: a part of

its aluminium engine has been cut and sits proudly

behind museum-grade crystal in its backplate, where

a detailed map of central London has been engraved,

its crash site highlighted in red.

Holmes’ bravery was just one example of the courage

displayed by members of the RAF defending their

nation that day; so much so, that September 15 later

became known under a dierent name: Battle of

Britain Day. With 2018 marking a century since the

RAF was formed, the C9 P2725 not only recognises

the heroic resolve and lion-hearted ghting spirit

associated with the Second World War, but the

world-class eorts that the RAF continue today.

Middle-bottom: Actual metal from

the excavated Hurricane, sourced by

the specialists at TMB Art Metal, was

melted down and formed into discs.

The metal discs were then engraved

with a map of central London showing

the Hurricane’s crash site and take

pride of place behind museum-grade

crystal in the backplate of the watch.

C9 P2725 TM-B Limited Edition

For a watch inspired by the dashboard

instrument panel of Hawker Hurricane P2725,

the sandblasted DLC case and extra matte

black dial provide a perfect foundation on

which senior designer Adrian Buchmann

could impose his vintage-inspired vision.

To enhance readability in lower light conditions,

the numbers of the C9’s fully-tracked outer minute

ring alternate between Old Radium and SLN T-C1

SuperLuminova®, which in turn contrast against the

colours inside its inner hour ring. Matching the tip of

the seconds hand, the Valgranges A07.161’s power

reserve indicator features a red empty gauge – another

nod to the cockpit environment that Holmes found

himself in.

However, it’s what lies beneath museum-grade

sapphire on the P2725’s reverse that provides this

watch its provenance. A piece of aluminium taken

from Holmes’ Hurricane – recovered from underneath

Buckingham Palace Road in 2004 – has been treated,

laser cut, engraved and ink-lled with a map of 1940s

London, while a red dot denotes the P2725’s crash site.

Inspect the backplate under a microscope, and it’ll

reveal a level of intricacy that we are extraordinarily

proud of.

From the eorts of our partners TMB Art Metal in

excavating P2725’s wreckage, through to the skill of

those who designed and built the 100 pieces that

comprise this special run, our teams have worked

tirelessly to ensure that the C9 P2725 TM-B Limited

Edition is released in time for the century anniversary

of the RAF. Although just a watch (albeit, one we

hope you treasure), we hope it conveys the deep

admiration and respect Christopher Ward has for

the continued seless heroism of our Royal Air Force.

How to operate your C9 P2725 TM-B Limited Edition

Setting the time/date

1. Crown position

2. Time setting

How to operate your C9 P2725 TM-B Limited Edition

The crown should sit ush to the case (position

)

in order to maintain water resistance.

• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use,

simply wind the crown in a clockwise direction

until the power reserve indicator shows a charge

of between 50% and 55%. Normal wearing will

allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch

over time after putting it on your wrist.

• To set the time gently pull out the crown into

position

. This position is used for handsetting

and stopping of the second hand. Turn the crown

until you reach the correct time e.g. 10.08 hr.

For precise time setting it is recommended to

pass beyond the desired minute and to set the

hand backwards.

• Push the crown back into position

, the crown

should sit flush to the case.
